so ends four days of doing absolutely nothing holiday/shopping/long weekend related – skipped the whole thing, and glad of it #
thinking that I’ll redesign chadcatacchio.com after the New Year as I’m getting kind of bored with it #
Win a new Macbook Pro on Cyber Monday 2009. Details here: http://bit.ly/29rFES #
has anyone put a call into @Google yet about the rumors of their China operations closing down and employee exodus?

when you use Twitter’s retweet function the retweet doesn’t show up in your archived tweets? #fail #
The Twitter-Friendfeed-Facebook-love-hate triangle and why open systems will win in the end by @ChrisSaad http://bit.ly/5xveQG #
The Swiss vote to ban minarets to stem “Islamisation” – absolutely ridiculous http://bit.ly/6P4oE5 #
threw my back out last night lifting the kid. good thing all I needed to do this morning was to move furniture. #
watching Irish vs Stanford, good game so far – Mr. Weis won’t be at next year’s game, that’s for sure #
getting excited about Supernova in a few days, though I need to figure out where I’m staying in SF this week #
well, so far Denzel is doing fine, but Travolta is no Robert Shaw (not that I needed to watch this movie to know that) #Pelham123 #
watching the new “Taking of Pelham 123″ – Denzel is about as far from Walter Matthau as you can get, that’s for sure #
RT @TechCrunch: In The Age Of Realtime, Twitter Is Walter Cronkite http://bit.ly/7s9wBg – I just posted my comment/post there #
thinking about how I can add to the discussion on @parislemon’s latest TC post #
Hotels.com just sent me a postcard saying I’m invited to their Five Star program – they should have just sent me an email #
BART just sent me the $7 check they promised for screwing up my ticket that they’d said would get to me in 10 days – only took them 5 months #
just entered Day 3 of the “Eat This Entire Pumpkin Pie Before Monday Challenge” #fatamerican #
Tiger Woods released from hospital and his manager says he “is fine”. Good. #
ABC just interrupted the Cincy v Illinois football game to report on Tiger – they used “seriously” but didn’t sound like they had new info #
again, NBC Orlando affliate also has the story and does not use the word “serious” Tiger “treated for facial lacerations” #
also http://bit.ly/6UjGca says that alcohol was not involved but that “charges are pending” – on Tiger? #
RT @Slate: Tiger Woods seriously injured in car crash http://bit.ly/6UjGca (doesn’t sound too serious in this report) #
Entire CNN story on CNN.com: “(CNN) — Golfer Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident near his home, Florida officials say.” #
all that said, let’s hope he and his family are ok – same for everyone else traveling this weekend #
also re: Tiger Woods – from the report, I hate to say it, but it sounds to me as if he was somehow impaired #
re: Tiger Woods – remember that “seriously” is better than critical #
Tiger Woods seriously injured in crash – says he pulled out of his driveway and hit a tree at 2am http://bit.ly/88VWrs #
anyone else getting a lot of new quasi-spam followers from Brazil in the last 24 hours? @spam? #
just turned on the Cinni v Illinois game – 28-7 Cinni half a minute into the second quarter #blowout #
Dear Retailers, I do not regret that I will not be partaking in your outdated attempt to save yourselves from certain doom #
watching “Star Trek” after a lot of handmade dumplings for dinner #

“A’s Anatomy” Sesame Street parody http://bit.ly/Qmd4V #

glad everyone liked the #JTreeTweetup pics – I thought that I took more, but guess not (too busy climbing I guess #
here’s a working link for my #JTreeTweetup set http://bit.ly/55svCp (the last link was Twitter fail) #
I have finally uploaded my #JTreeTweetup pics to Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/28955795@N06/sets/72157622744609615/ #
wow Chrome is fast using my Win computer right now to upload to Flickr (I usually use Ubuntu) and just forgot how fast Chrome is #

If you follow me, I would appreciate it if you followed @DrewFromTV & donated in my Mom’s memory so that we can #beatcancer #
my Mom, the person that lived more than anyone I’ve ever known, was born 60 years ago today. We lost her to cancer 5 years ago. #
watching ‘An American Werewolf in Paris’ in my quest to find a really cheezy Halloween flick #
hanging with the fam, watching Hulu & listening to the hordes walk by on their way to Isla Vista #halloween #
RT @SFWeekly: RT @alexiatsotsis @chadcat Thank you for the inspiration. you’re welcome & looks great #failbridge #
finally got the baby to sleep, now to finish this post about candy! #
so on Twitter.com Lists show up as links but it doesn’t seem as if @Tweetdeck can do that yet – I imagine in the next release #
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ #
I think that @Twitter is going to have to make changes to their TOS, as I can see a lot of potential abuse of Lists (i.e. hate) #
well, it’s been a long day of Twitter Lists, writing about Halloween candy, Slumdog Millionaire, and baseball, good night folks #
I very much doubt that Google Wave is going to due me much good, as I don’t keep my life in Google like most #

I really want to make a List called “Reminds me of bunnies” but not sure the people I put on it would understand it’s a compliment #
the biggest problem I have with Twitter Lists so far is that it’s a slog to add people to a list – too much work #
and down go my Lists again #failwhale #faillists #
new Lists creation strategy – every list from now on will have “like bacon” or “awesomesauce” in the title #
1/8 of the people I follow made my first list: “People That Party Hard” http://bit.ly/InnyU #
Lists away! My first one is going to be “People-That-Party-Harder-Than-I-Do” #

going into the Google Wave talk at #140conf #
going to just grab some food here in the Kodak instead of heading out for lunch I think #140conf #
literally can’t walk five steps without running into peeps here at #140conf, so in order to get a little work done, I’m sitting #
doing a quick plugin session before eating lunch and getting back into #140conf #
lunch break at #140conf (@ Kodak Theatre in LA w/ @themaria) http://bit.ly/xnLnP #
eating cheese and crackers and watching Kill Bill v2 while watching everyone having fun over twitter in Hollywood #
glad everyone is having fun already at #140conf, not like I expected otherwise #
cool, just booked a suite at the Roosevelt for tomorrow night – guess where the after-after party is going to be? #
doing dumb things was so much easier when I was young #
still in SB, going to stay home 2nite then try to beat the traffic tomorrow morning for #140conf (so expect me to be late) #

ok, just read up on Apple tablet rumors, now off to Rotten Tomatoes, then I’ll go looking for a life #

too bad that they didn’t put a webcam on the roof of the limo so we could get another angle of “tongzhimen hao!” #
my daughter is getting a kick out of the parade music #nationalday #
ok, maybe just a 1-2 mins behind #nationalday #
looks like CCTV.com coverage may be 5-10 mins behind at least in the US #
let the parade drinking begin! #爱国 #
bring on the tanks! what’s the hashtag? how about #爱国？ #
ok @GraniteStudio @bokane @sososazesh are in on the parade drinking game, who else? @beijingboyce? #
